room attached garage paved drive Set well back from street in excellent area PARADE OF HOMES By MACK PARLIAMENT Director of Publications Canadian Ileal Estate Association While it is customary to look ahead in anticipation of fulfilment of dreams it is ad to look back over one s shoulder now and then to see if what has been accomplished in the past warrants optimism about the future The statement is as applicable to housing as any other unfulfilled dream or aspiration And a review of the accomplishments of Canada and Canadians in the housing field gives one good ammunition to be optimistic about the future in this country For unlike European countries Canada has produced more than per cent of its present housing stock since 1920 Or to put it another way less than per cent of all of all tvDes is man fiO Even more striking is the fact that more than per cent of all the housing has been built since 1945 and that more than a it has been nut in In the last decade The happy result is that Canada boasts a great diversity of housing of all types of all ages and of all sizes with the total now exceeding million units This is a far cry from 1920 when the Iparents of day generation of tenants and homeowners occupied only 202 350 housing units from the Atlantic to the Pacific In four provinces there were fewer than homes and only Ontario and Quebec had more than 100 Of course the population has undergone a remarkable change since 1920 when there were only 788 persons occupying the country million square miles Boosted by im migration this had more than doubled by 1960 by which time the number of housing units had also almost doubled The country present population is just over 23 million Industrialization fostered new em ployment opportunities and aided by heavy foreign investment new mining frontiers were opened new oil fields developed and vast hydro electric projects initiated The St Lawrence Seaway long an unfulfilled dream became a reality and a booming economy accompanied by a high standard of living became accepted as the norm Since then there have been some remarkable changes for the worse Growth in the economy has slowed and unemployment has reached 3 per cent of the f i 11s highest peak since the Great Depression Inflation has grown from a minor inconvenience into an ugly monster which even the omnipotent Inflation Board can tame Some people now believe it won t be overcome within their lifetimes The labor unions have become even more powerful and have been able to win inflationary wage settlements and disrupt the economy Government have not only intervened more and more in the economy and the livesof individuals but have also grown In strength There are now more than 1 persons on their payrolls Yet through violent swings in the economic cycle high unemployment inflation and other difficulties housing construction has moved steadily forward to the point where it is generally agreed Canadians are among the best Housed people in the if rot the best housed people on earth Average weekly earnings in for In stance were 78 24 This spring average weekly earnings were and climbing In 1961 the average existing home had a price tag of 14 while the average price of a new house financed under the National Housing Act was Although wages more than tripled so did the price of houses Today however there are some units both existing and new which gain in wages At the same time there are others above thai figure In short there is a wide range of prices just as there is a wide range of housing types and styles Over the past year the scales have been tipped more favorably in the direction of the home owner Interest rates have alien from a high of per cent to 1014 per cent The price of existing housing rose about per cent during the 12 month ending in March However this was below the corresponding increase in average wages and inflation The latter rose 7 6 per cent during the same period The number of properties listed for sale through the Multiple Listing Service MLS during the first quarter of was 7 per cent higher than in the corresponding period a year earlier On the new home scene there was a surplus of unsold units on the market at the end of last year One study estimated there was a years supply of empty new housing units in Ontario which should keep prices in line Blair Jackson executive vice president of the Canadian Real Estate Association echoed this view on a national basis in the resale field A buyers market exists he said with a greater variety and selection for buyers to choose from with prices actually a better value than at this time a year ago Yes statistically at last Canadians have very right to be optimistic about the future as suggested earlier If can match the level of accomplishments of the past there is every reason to believe the steadily growing benefits of being a Canadian will continue not only in housing but in other aspects of the good life It must be remembered however that per cent of the population did not become home owners without some financial sacrifice Neither will the remaining per cent if home ownership is their goal JON ZORGE REAL ESTATE
